Cosmic EventsReiki Activations for Big Sky Moments
Some moments ask you to pause.
What are cosmic events?
Some moments in the sky don't fall on a numerology date or a seasonal festival. A solar eclipse in a new lunar year. A rare alignment of planets. A new year in another calendar. Mercury moving backward through the sky.
I record a Reiki activation for the ones that feel big enough to pause for. This page gathers them in one place, so you can find the one that matches the moment you're in.
Astrology is a symbolic tradition, and I use it as a calendar for reflection, not as prediction. None of this is medical or clinical advice.
New year gateways
Two moments that marked a new beginning in different calendars.
The Year of the Fire Horse
Recorded around the solar eclipse that arrived with the Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse in February 2026. A Reiki activation for letting go of fear and anchoring your next chapter.
Listen on YouTubeThe Galactic New Year
Recorded in July 2026 for the Galactic New Year and a nodal shift. A Reiki activation for the idea of having nothing left to earn.
Listen on YouTubeBig sky alignments
Two activations for moments that felt larger than a single day.
The Barbault Basket
Recorded in July 2026 for the rare alignment of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto that astrologers named the Barbault Basket. A Reiki activation for a new era.
Listen on YouTubeThe Golden Intersection of Timelines
A 32-minute Reiki activation recorded in October 2025, built around the golden ratio and the idea of harmonic coherence.
Listen on YouTubeMercury retrograde
Mercury goes retrograde a few times each year, and it is the sky moment people ask me about most. I've recorded a Reiki activation for several of them, and they have their own page.
Earth and independence
Two activations tied to a day on the calendar, with a theme that lasts beyond it.
Earth Day
A grounding Reiki activation recorded for Earth Day, for the feeling of being held by the ground under you.
Listen on YouTubeReclaiming Independence
A Divine Feminine Reiki activation recorded for July 4th, with themes of sovereignty and soul liberation.
Listen on YouTubeA free activation to begin with
Barbault Basket Is Here is a Reiki activation I recorded for the summer of 2026. It is free on my YouTube channel. Find a quiet spot and listen in a way that feels steady.
Barbault Basket Is Here Β· Reiki Activation for the New Era
You can listen any time, and if you drift off along the way, let yourself. Receive only what feels right.
How to use these activations
There is no right way. This is one gentle way to begin.
- Choose the moment that matches where you are, or the one you are most curious about.
- Find a quiet spot where you can sit or lie down for the length of the video.
- Let your breathing slow a little, and press play.
- Listen the way that feels steady for you. If you drift off, that is allowed.
- Afterward, notice what is true for you now, and take a little water or a few quiet minutes.
Every activation is timeless, so you can come back to any of them whenever you like.

See Mercury RetrogradeWhere Reiki and verbal Reiki fit
Reiki is a gentle practice of energetic support, and many people experience it as deeply restful. I'm not claiming it treats or cures anything. I offer it as a complement, a way to give the body a quiet space to settle.
Verbal Reiki
I use my voice alongside the Reiki, guiding you through imagery and somatic awareness while the Reiki is held.
Slow and quiet
The pace is gentle, so your body can settle without being asked to perform or push.
New to Reiki itself? What Is Reiki? explains it plainly.
Where to go from here
Take whichever door feels steady, at your own pace.
The Ongoing Work
Walk it in the Temple of Mysteries
Temple of Mysteries is my ongoing home for this work, built on Inanna's descent. We walk the seven gates at your own pace, with live circles that include verbal Reiki activations, always in company rather than alone.

What are cosmic events?
In this guide, cosmic events are sky moments that fall outside the numerology portal dates and the eight seasonal festivals, such as eclipses, planetary alignments, new year gateways in different calendars, and Mercury retrograde. Each has its own Reiki activation to listen to.
Do I need to listen on the day of the event?
No. Every activation is timeless. You can listen on the day, a few weeks later or the following year, sitting or lying down, and receive only what you're ready for.
What is the Barbault Basket?
The Barbault Basket is the name astrologers have given to a rare alignment of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto that they watched in the summer of 2026. It is named for the French astrologer AndrΓ© Barbault, who studied planetary cycles. Astrology is a symbolic tradition and not a scientific prediction.
What is the Galactic New Year?
The Galactic New Year is a new year observed around July 26 in some calendar traditions based on the Maya count. Many people use it as a marker for reflection, much as they would January 1.
Is astrology scientific?
No. Astrology is a symbolic tradition, and I use it as a calendar of moments for pausing and reflecting, not as a way to predict what will happen to you. Reiki is also a complementary practice, and neither one is a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Can Reiki change what the planets do?
No. The sky does what it does. The activations are an invitation to slow down, settle your body and notice what is true for you while a larger moment passes.
Where is the Mercury retrograde guide?
Mercury retrograde has its own page, with a Reiki activation for each of the retrogrades I've recorded. You can find it linked in this guide.
